reminds me of a flight after door closure a woman continued to play on her phone. A guy behind her said "mam the flight attendant just told you to turn off electronic devices" She smirked and muttered something. He then said "mam this is your second warning, youu are violating federal law and failing to follow instructions from a flight crew" She again smirked and went pfffffft. Then he pulled out his wallet displayed a police badge and said "Im a police officer shut it off NOW or I will have an airport police officer meet us at the gate in Fairbanks" It got shut off real quick

Ha.

Had a flight in November SEA-ANC where a Pax *refused* to get off the phone. She became verbally abusive and we returned to the gate. As she was escorted off the plane (with a guy in tow) there was applause ^. Wonder if she made it to AK?
